Villa Overview
3 bedroom beachside villa with private pool at Sanur Ketewel
The three-bedroom Villa Raj, situated just 40 metres from a glistening black-sand beach near Ketewel on Balis south-east coast, presents indoor and outdoor living, a swimming pool in a private walled garden, and a 13-metre private beachfront deck offering glorious views. The contemporary architecture incorporates local materials and many elements of Balinese-Hindu philosophy, while a mix of modern and antique furnishings means comfort is assured. Guests staying at Villa Raj can look forward to five-star service within the calm tranquillity that is the true essence of Bali.
Majapahit Beach Villas are down a small track a kilometre or so off the main Denpasar – KlungKung bypass. They face out over the Badung Strait with Nusa Penida in the distance. This stretch of black sand beach with its excellent reef break is good for experienced surfers, but strong currents and a swirling high tide that covers the beach all the way up to the villas’ sea wall mean that this is not really the spot for swimming. Nearby is little other than a few sleepy local houses and a tiny temple spotted amongst the rice terraces; grazing cows; fields of tapioca and chillies and pockets of coconut palms. The village of Ketewel is only a few minutes’ away, while Sukawati, famous for its cheap local market, is a couple of kilometres inland en route to the cultural and artistic heart of Bali, Ubud.

Location
Location
Majapahit Beach Villas are located at Pabean Beach down a narrow lane off the Klungkung Bypass, which runs along the east coast and is also known as the Sunrise Road. Bounded by the River Wos, rice fields, tobacco plantations, papaya, banana and coconut groves, the area is blessed with spectacular views extending across the ocean towards the beaches of Sanur and Nusa Dua, the islands of Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida, and the mountains of East Bali.
Pabean was once a small port through which oriental traders brought their products; at low tide you can still see the structure of the old harbour. This glistening black sand stretch of coastline is popular with surfers and beachcombers but swirling currents and a lack of lifeguards make it unsuitable for swimming for all but the most confident of swimmers.
The nearby village of Ketewel is the origin of the celebrated Legong Bededari Dance, and the neighbouring village of Saba produced the finest Legong dancers on the island. There are no Western-style restaurants in this area, but there are plenty of local warungs (eateries), while international restaurants, shops galore can be found just 13km away in Sanur. Also the location is in between Seminyak and the cultural capital of Bali, Ubud and just 5 -10 minutes from all the famous traditional villages of Mas, Sukawati, Batubulan and Batuan for all handicraft shopping.
